§ 43. Mr. Neil Macleanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is satisfied that the district committees are fulfilling properly the duties for which they were appointed?
Mr. JohnstonThe hon. Member's Question, I take it, refers to agricultural executive committees. The vast majority of these committees are energetically carrying out their duties in the public interest and with great benefit to food production. In a few instances, however, I am convinced that they could with advantage be strengthened, and steps have been and are being taken to that end.
